A stabilizer is provided for attachment to the generally flat bar of a wood turning tool. The stabilizer comprises a generally cylindrical sleeve having a central axially extending slot sized to receive the flat bar of the tool. The tool and stabilizer combination is rotatably supported on a tool rest associated with a lathe, such that the combination contacts the tool rest at a point that is vertically aligned with any point along the cutting blade of the cutting tool, substantially eliminating any rotational torque that could otherwise be generated as the cutting tool is moved into cutting engagement with the turning wood.
